Well I thought my weekend was over on Friday and I do hope someone has a photo of my airborne crash, Dad was with HB Car 13 and he said the marshal said over the radio that my car was 3ft in the air! Just got to say a big thanks to my Dad, circuit officials and all of you that offered us parts/help to get the car back to race prep in time for the 1st race. Mickey.

Excellent.

Nice to see a proper TVR taking some glory at last.

Them they're tractors are getting faster all the time hehe

I wish I had been there to see it but Painting the spare bedrom beckoned on the Sunday. We will also keep the patented core plug repair equipment in the tool box should it happen again.

Top Banana.
The Daft Dog Racing team has arrived.

Superb result - well done J
Sorry we couldn't be there with you - what a fabulous start to your racing career !!

L - I bet the car's already washed, polished and put to bed for the next race. Thanks for the message yesterday, you sounded absolutely ecstatic.

It sounded great as well. We were all gutted when it didnt make it out on Saturday. Great to see it doing so well yesterday. Hopefully we can encourage more people to both come along to watch as well as compete.

This one has to be my favourite


three completely different TVR's with Different engine, two with lots of aero and one with hardly any.. A very exciting race was no the cards there.. the three cars had very different streangths and weaknesses ...

Just A pity I couldnt get more than 3 laps before the gearbox played up and 5 before it jammed in third.. AGAIN!!! That particular box has one more chance before it becomes a garden ornament....

What a fabulous track Anglesey is, the redevelopment work is excellent and the views over the circuit are fantastic.

Congrats to John on his very well deserved clean sweep of pole, win and fastest lap. In true racing spirit he overcome the disappointment of not making the grid in race 1 but made his mark in race 2. The car is really nicely built and goes as good as it looks.

A mention for Mickey too, after a big off in testing the team got the car back together and Mickey brought it home for some valuable points.

Linda, terrific pictures. We were overheating the rear tyres in the race.......I can see why now!!!!!! Could I have a hi-res pic of the flame spitting T350R please for my website?

I'd have to agree with Ceejay about the circuit... Brilliant, and those that didnt make the trip really missed out.. a good mix of fast and slow bits, a real power and handling circuit... I had expected it to be a bit point and squirt but it was nothing of the sort.. lots of gradient changes, camber and bits of banking that you cant see from just looking at the circuit map.


Reminds me in some ways of cadwell, just a bit wider with more run off, although not enough run off for some eh !!!

I'll certainly be shouting for it to be on the calendar for next season.. I even had a nice drive back across the A5, as I wasnt dragging the trailer..


Race two sounds good, sadly I was almost home by then .....


CJ I must say the flames looked bigger from where I was sat !!!!


Also Bens Tuscan seemed to have flames comming out from underneath it at the hairpin...

Well done John - the polish must have helped make it a low drag racer!!
Hope the tent was OK

Here's one of the the T350R on the 5th lap during qually. Ooops, still only kissed the tyres no harm done.

Thanks to Linda for emailing the flamey T350 pic, I've put this up on tvr-racing.co.uk and also added the onboard video from race 1 to the gallery

Anglesey turned out to be a great weekend.
The TWR guys did a good job out on the track - a good team effort.

CJ - with the flames you were spitting out on the pit straight, we could have had a cracking BBQ

The place gets my vote
